Fascism and Fundamentalism ... "by
David Neiwert ... Over the past two decades, the most
important meeting ground for the broad range of rightist beliefs has
been in the field of fundamentalist Christianity. Extremists
frequently organize around an arcane brand of fundamentalism like
Identity; mainstream conservatism has become increasingly identified
with mainstream fundamentalism"

Administration "Affinity groups are organizations
where the members share a common religion, ethnicity, profession or
interest. Affinity fraud involves scammers joining or
pretending to be members of the group in order to scam the
organization's members by gaining their trust. They often focus on
conning the group's leaders into trusting them so that the leaders
will unwittingly help them spread the scam... "

country apparently invested $11 million to $14 million in less than
a year expecting huge returns and expecting other profits to build
churches in Kenya and Poland. Instead, prosecutors said the
"ministry" was a Ponzi scheme in which early investors
were paid with funds invested by later ones"

Fundamentalist Christian right wing (Bush) view of environmental
issues: "....scientific
evidence better supports the view that climate change in the past 30
to 150 years, as well as what may be projected with reasonable
confidence into the foreseeable future, has been and will be:
- well within the bounds of natural variability, in which Earth’s
climate has warmed and cooled cyclically throughout its history;
- largely natural in origin;
- unlikely to be catastrophic to
humanity or the rest of the biosphere;
- not susceptible of
significant reduction by any actions we take;
- far from the most
serious threat to humanity and the rest of our environment. Further,
we believe:
- the costs of achieving even
tiny mitigation of future temperatures through any policy of
greenhouse gas emissions reductions would far outweigh the benefits,
and
- the benefits of adaptation to whatever temperatures the
future brings–warmer or cooler (and geologic history assures us
that they will be both)–can outweigh the costs." and printscreen

Lew "In short, what we have alive in
the US is an updated and Americanized fascism. Why fascist? Because
it is not leftist in the sense of egalitarian or redistributionist.
It has no real beef with business. It doesn't sympathize with the
downtrodden, labor, or the poor. It is for all the core institutions
of bourgeois life in America: family, faith, and flag. But it sees
the state as the central organizing principle of society, views
public institutions as the most essential means by which all these
institutions are protected and advanced, and adores the head of
state as a godlike figure who knows better than anyone else what the
country and world's needs, and has a special connection to the
Creator that permits him to discern the best means to bring it
about."

"Much of Anthony's and Robbins' work
builds upon the work of sociologist Robert Lifton and his colleague
Charles Strozier, whom they cite extensively: Both writers
have explicitly linked totalism and fundamentalism. Interestingly,
they tend to define fundamentalism in terms very close to
descriptions of authoritarianism: for example, fundamentalist
childrearing practices -- allegedly strict, repressive, corporally
punitive and guilt-inducing -- resemble the familial milieux
associated with authoritarian personalities. The emphasis by Lifton
and Strozier on fundamentalist scriptural literalism, textual
fetishism, obsession with disorder, nostalgia for a strongly ordered
golden age less chaotic than the present, and emphasis on
restoration keyed to inerrant scriptural texts, appears to evoke
classic descriptions of authoritarian personalities"
